BACKGROUND:  
ARB’s Consumer Products Program is an important part of
California’s efforts to reduce the amount of smog-forming
volatile organic compounds, toxic air contaminants and greenhouse
gases emitted from chemically formulated consumer products. 
ARB’s consumer-products regulations have resulted in emission
reductions of nearly 50 percent since 1990, but more is needed to
meet federally required health-based air-quality standards.
